Lee A. DuBridge Postdoctoral Fellow in Theoretical Physics at the Institute for
Quantum Information (IQI) at Caltech.
I was born in Moscow, Russia, where I attended schools №1507 and №1543. In 1997, my family moved to the United
States, where I graduated from Newton
South High School in 2000 and from Harvard College in 2004. In November
2009, I defended my Ph.D. thesis in Physics at Harvard University under the supervision of Professor Mikhail
Lukin and then stayed as a Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Lukin until August 2010.
Ph.D. Thesis (Harvard University, November 2009): [pdf]
Title: Novel Systems and Methods for Quantum Communication, Quantum Computation,
and Quantum Simulation.
Advisor: Prof. Mikhail D. Lukin.
